AN ADVANCE IN REAL ES-,
TATE VALUES ;.
Extends All Over the United States.
SIS r.. Sl'si,..

The increased valuation in real estate
extends not only in the west and south,
but is sharpening the, wits OF. tee sto!Id
east. Eastern newspapers WHICH ;depre
Gated boom, begin to encourage the
healthy action now manifesting itself in
real estate movements There are, no
booms in WestarK Kansas but those Of a
healthy, vigorous and lasting tenure: OF
course 10 is wise policy for staid. sober
and conservative newspaper Ike the
Chicago Journal to give kindly adyylce
and heartily condemn anything ike an
unreasonable real estate action, but the
Journal is exceedingly over cautious, and
the disasters it mentions are not known
in the speculations and transfersdm u estt''
ern Kansas In this partofthe state The
boom is a thing made necessary by the
influx of immigration. 1t ,isan inevitable
result of the condition of affairs The
Journal says:
Wall street is almost unanimously pre-

that the brokers and spectators there are
trying to make one a'BeelnersY 80 many
parts of the country have already accom-
plished this result, to the lasting. regret
of many innocent persons .Swho have
bought property at many times its real
value
But there are Blooms and boonss 3. Real
estate in every section of thes eonntgy Is
now advancing and is being purchased
more freely than usual. This is true OF
some of the old, substantial cities. New
York property is more, active this; spring
than for some years past. This Increased
interest and activity are not wholly spec
ulative The calling in OF the national
bonds and the wiping out Of other forms
of security indebtedness is ;causing mil
lions to seek real estate for purposes Of in
vestment.
1t is quite probable that the activity in
the real estate market will gradually ex-
tend to all the leading towns and cities Of
the country, and if it shall not. pass be
yond the safe and moderate limits pre-
scribed by the healthful upbuilding ofthe
country, it need not be deprecated. But
the danger is that it may, as it has al
ready done in some places grow into q
wild craze of speculation that is bound to
bring ruin and disaster in its course
When in towns Of 5000 people business
property is running up to 81, 600 and ST.
600 foot, the possible growth Of half j
century is anticipated, and terrible col
lapse is sure to follow. Not only 90 in
dividuals lose heavily by such set-backs,
but the whole community suffers The
pendulum swings back as far as it had
swung forward. Intelligent, enterprising 9.
men avoid such towns, and go TO those
whose prosperity has been fh5i6rate and
constant.
The boom which means no more than
the healthful development of the resourc-
es of the country is to be welcomed, but
the boom that grows out of the organized
efforts of professional Spectators is to be
denounced and avoided.

A LITTLE NEWSPAPER
TRUTH.

head Newspaper subscribers who are
in arrears should bear in mind that dun
is not an impeachment Of their integrity.
but simply an out cropping Of tho pub
fishers necessity. For instance, q thous-
and men owe from one to four dollars
each. 1t is small amount to each indi-
vidual. but to him the aggregate is largo.
Instead Of becoming indignant because
the publisher asks for his honest dues,
the delinquent subscriber should be great
full to him for waiting SO patiently and
pay up like man."

LISTING CORN IN KANSAS.

WOoDsoN COUNTY, kAEs., MAR. 90
Last year listed thirty-two acres of
corn. and despite the drouth | gathered
from forty to sixty-dye bushels Of sound
corn per acre. Imade my land as clean
as possible, and planted my first row by
stakes to get started straight. After
that l allowed my furrow horse to walk
along the edge Of the loose dirt thrown
from the last funow, thus making rows
about thirty-eight inches apart. Set the
lister SO as to drop grain every twelve
inches. think it is best 10 plant the
rows east and west so as to get more eff
feet of the sun in bringing the corn up.
As soon as could see the rows plainly
removed the outside shovels adjusted
the inverted trough over the row of small
corn, and set the inside shovels to throw
the dirt toward the TOW. The bottom of
the inverted trough is eight inches wide,
and it prevents the dirt from rolling on
the corn Il merely allows the dirt to
settle around the tender plant. The next
time through discard the trough and use
all four of the shoveis, throwing more
dirt against the corn. After this, culti-
walton is the same as if planted with corn
planter. ! believe listing is the best way
to plant foul land, as it throws all weed
seeds away from the rows, giving the
corn chance to grow from the start. Ii
the land is fall-plowed, cultivation is rem
dered much easier-James D. Newcomb,

WHO NEED TO BE ANARoHYsED.
The Fearful Assault Upon Mrs. II. N.
Collier near Clarksvillc that Should
Be Revenge.

Todd county, Kentucky, appears
to have at least two bad citizens in
the persons of John A. Bailey and
James A. Skaggs, who on Saturday
last visited GAINESVILLE aud when en-
route home; attacked and unmerci-
fully beat Mrs. w. M. Collier, wife Of
the tollgate keeper at Red river
bridge, on the Russellville turnpike
near this city. 1t appears that when
coming to the city they told Mrs.
Collier that they would pay on their
return. The lady very gracefully
allowed them to pass under thisprom-
Use, but upon returning they refused
to pay, and attempted to drive by
the plucky woman, who had followed
them several feet from the toll house,
where she caught their lines and. de
mnnded her money. Bailey In order
to prove his manhood, seized his
whip by the small end, and with the
bait, dealt the lady several blows
over the head and shoulders compel
ling her ito let go her hold on the
lines, and then they drove away at a
rapid gait. News Of the occurrence
was al once brought to the city, and
Sheriff Station started in pursuit,
While parties in st. Bethlehem were
telephoned to stop them. They had
just passed through that place at a
lively gait when the message was re-
ceived. Mr.. James Ross mounting a
horse, put out after, aand caught up
with them near Mr.. Geo. ID. Mimms'.
Mr.. Ross demanded their surrender,
but.they put whiptotheir horse and a
race commenced. Down the pikethey
went at feaful speed until the buggy
was overturned and its occupants
thrown out, when Mr.. Ross nabbed
one OF them, the other escaping

THE OPIUM HAn1r.
Tho Most Abject Of slaverioa Thore
Any EmanoipatorP

A .-4- fs4
The New York papers lately pub.
llshcd very pathetic story about a
very popular emotional actress. II
was to the effect that she had be-
come a confirmed victim Of the
opium habid, involving an almost
total loss Of physical and mental
powers, and actual restitution.
The story was at once denied by
her friends, who say she has suffered
simply from nervous prostitution, is
in no need of pecuniary aid, and Is
on the way to speedy recovery.
Opium victims are usually hope
less, helpless slaves, mind weakened,
lacking energy for any effort toward
recovery, rapidly drifting into inn
becility and untimely grave.
"a peculiar feature is that victim
craftily conceal it from their nearest
friends. A young lady at school
near Philadelphia was recently found
to be secretly addicted to it, keeping

have given it when / wrote the let
ter, but it looked too much like an
advertisement" M
This voluntary statement goes to
confirm the claim made by the pro.
pfietOrs of Warmers safe cure, that ii
is the only remedy in the world
which has any decided power over
diseases of the kidneys and llver, and
that this terrible habit cannot be
cured until these organs have first
been restored to full health, because
they are the ones chiefly. affected by
this drug.
| Editor VIM A, Bode, of Alton,
Ill, was completely cured Of the
opium habit, acquired by long use ii
a painful malady, with Warmers
safe cure. Itcannot be cured at all
if the kidneys and liver are diseased,
1t is not claimed that there is any
thing in Warmers safe cure alone
which will do away with the habit
except that it puts the kidneys and
liver in a healthy condition, giving
the whole system that strength and
tone without which any attempt t
thyow OIL the habit, would be vain vain.
1t is because physicians have dis
covered that no other remedy is SC
beneficial in restoring health to thu
liver, Kidneys and general system a;
the one stated that it has come into
general use in connection with tn,
special remedies for the cure of tht
! dreadful opium habit.
4 One OF the worst features Of thC
opium habit is the deadening ofmen
iftal and moral sensibilities in proper
tion as it weakens the physical sys
| tenn and the will power.
